Showbiz programme Entertainment Tonight went behind the scenes of TNG in this episode, sending one of its' reporters, six-foot John Tesh in as an extra (Klingon age of ascension guard), following him through the two-hour makeup job.
   

Star Trek V The Final Frontier was being filmed at the same time as this episode. Hence, due to the shortage of Klingon costumes available, two of the ascension guards were forced to wear boots from "Planet of the Apes".
   

Mitchell Ryan is best known for his villainous role in "Lethal Weapon".
   

Lance Spellerberg also appeared as Chief Herbert in "We'll Always Have Paris".
